On June 27 New York Times reported that Turkish Hackers ‘hijacked’ a few of
the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) domain
names. Last Thursday (July 3) ICANNconfirmed these attacks mentioning that
social hacking was partially involved. It should not be possible that the
company in charge of assigning IP address and domain names loses, even
temporarily, control of their domain names? Of course they are probably
constantly under attack, nonetheless wtf?
